Capture of steamer Magnolia

Anyone have information on the ship or crew, captured near Mobile Bay 19 Feb 1862 after leaving New Orleans with a large load of cotton bound for Havana.

Particularly interested in:
- pictures of ship or crew
- fate of crew after capture (think they were "paroled" in March, but have no information after that)
- contemporary news accounts (I have a few articles, but none from LA newspapers)

Thanks
