The family has a history that Andrew died at the Battle of Gettysburg. If he was released to the Confederates on 17 APR 1863 at City Point, VA, this is possible but seems very unlikely. I think that he either died on the trip to Virginia or died in prison.

The 25th Louisiana Infantry Battle Flag is located at the Confederate Museum in New Orleans. The display was ruined after a leak in the roof and the museum is seeking donations to remount the flag. It is estimated to require donations of $1000.
I viewed a photo of the flag at the museum 3/17/2010 and would like to start donations toward restoration and redisplay.
