The Army of the Cumberland has little movement at this time. There is fighting at Jackson, MS and Charleston, SC. Lee returns to Virginia as Meade's army trails them but does not attack in any large numbers. Union forces at Cairo, IL are concerned about a cavalry raid on Cairo, where most of the naval stores are located.
Morgan's Raid continued through southern Indiana and then into Ohio. Morgan avoided the Union troops at Cincinnati, and moved through southern Ohio.
Large riots occurred in New York City in resistance to the military draft which had begun to draw names for service in the Union army.
