George,
This site gives a good description of the Confederate soldiers removed from Chalmette. The Federal remains on Ship Island were moved about 40 years ago, I think.

Approximately 132 Confederate prisoners of war were buried at Chalmette until the Ladies' Benevolent Association of New Orleans requested that these soldiers be moved out of Chalmette, which is comprised entirely of Union soldiers, to the Greenwood Cemetery in New Orleans.
