The answer is they were to be sold as slaves with the proceeds going to reimburse Confederate slave-owners who had lost their property.

I couldn't find any confirmation on this, but I think they were to be sold or placed into slavery....

The Confederate Senate April 30, 1863 passed a resolution that white officers of American black troops, or any white person involved at all in preparing them to be soldiers, should be put to death if captured. They also resolved that black troops captured should be sold into slavery, regardless whether they had been free or formerly slaves. In actuality captured black troops were frequently massacred by Confederate troops and this part of the resolution was a dead letter. On May 1, 1863 the Confederate House of Representatives passed the same resolution.
