Kate, Nancy and I went to Mrs. Sandford's funeral.  Mr. Bing, Methodist preacher from Harmar, preached a very good sermon.  We received the daily Globe of July 27 containing William's speech on the Revenue Bill.  Another battle in Missouri at Day Spring (?) between Gen. Lyon and Ben M'Cullough.  8 killed and 30 wounded of the Federal troops.  40 of the rebels killed and 44 wounded.  The Federal cavalry made a brilliant charge on 4000 infantry of the enemy.
