Birth name is "John Manges" however, military records have him listed as John "Mangus." I believe this is the younger brother of Frederick Mangus/Manges who also enlisted on the same day in the same regiment as John. John died in early August of 1862 from disease and Frederick died in late 1862 of disease in the same regiment.

From the U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861-1865:
