Did he desert or was he a spy? His escape was recorded in a Baltimore Sun news article and on the record I've located, it says Lt. Col., 14th La. Inf. Reg. (RCS IX, p. 276 only). On the back of the card is says "disguised as a civilian and without permit or proper authority".
He's never found after the war so I suspect he changes his name. I also suspect that he was from Georgia as he initially joined Longstreet's brigade as a 1st Lt.
Does anybody know what RCS IX is? If so, what is on p. 276. Every good mystery deserves a good ending and I hope to find one for this spy/escapee.
