 I checked the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database. All they say for his record is this: http://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldier_id=6cb74ec2-dc7a-df11-bf36-b8ac6f5d926a. Now according to this he was just a private, but you'd probably have to get the full record to learn more.

Page 3 of the regimental roster on the Wisconsin Geneology Trails website (http://genealogytrails.com/wis/1stWIHeavyArtilleryReg-roster3.html) says he was discharged rather than mustered out, which sounds like what TD was saying about military prison.

If you join that site you should be able to read the record. They offer a free seven day membership
