7/5/1863: CS General Morgan captured the Federal garrison at Lebanon, KY. The Army of Northern Virginia completed their withdrawal from the Gettysburg area. CS War Department clerk Jones wrote, "We have just received intelligence of a great battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania." This information seems to have come from a truce boat at City Point, VA (probably how Northern newspapers made their way South).
