According to Wikipedia, when the USS Emma was commissioned 4 November 1863 in New York, its commander was Acting Master G.B. Livingston. I am taking the rank of acting master as a U.S. Navy volunteer. he was still commanding the ship as of the January 4, 1964 list of ships in the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.
I went to Naval History and Heritage Command: Naval and Marine Officers 1798 to 1900 and found out some more information of G.B. Livingston.
GEORGE B. LIVINGSTON
Acting Master: 8 June 1861
Acting Volunteer Lieutenant: 30 August 1864
Ensign: 12 March 1868
Master: 18 December 1868
Lieutenant: 2 March 1870
Lieutenant Commander: 4 February 1882
Died: 19 September 1890
So, he went from a volunteer to regular Navy evidently.
