The National Archives. Check out their Civil War section at

http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/civilwar.html

It explains the types of information they have, and the various ways of
accessing it.

By the way, you may get more than just military records. Pension
applications and paperwork can also be a wonderful source of
information!

Hope this helps -
