The northern soldiers were simply called the Union (which was also the name describing the northern states), while the southern soldiers were called Confederates (after the name that described the states that broken away in 1861, the Confederate States of America.)
EDIT:
The soldiers of the North were known as the Yankees. They were often referred to as "Billy Yanks" by their enemies from the South.
The soldiers of the South were known as the Rebels. "Johnny Rebs" became their nickname by the Union armies of the North.
