SAN FRANCISCO, April 29. – Steamer Panama arrived from Mazatlan with dates to the 19th.
The Confederates in New Mexico and Arizona are making efforts to bring the Border States into [sympathy] with them. Gen. Sibley commanding the Confederate forces had sent Col. Reilly to open negotiations with the Governor of Sonora. Reilly tendered troops to enter Sonora and chastise Apache Indians, for whose Services he asked right of way, overland from Guyamas to Arizona, and also privilege of purchasing supplies at Mazatlan. The Governor entered into a long correspondence with Reilly and sent special messenger to the Governor of Cinaloa on the subject of his mission. No definite arrangements appeared to be agreed upon, but Reilly received courteous treatment from the government officials, and at last accounts he had arrived at Guayamas, where he boasted that he had been far more successful than he had hoped for.
Ship Joseph Peabody has been forfeited to the Government for smuggling.
Trade has recently revived to supply the demand for goods suitable to Oregon and British California miners, in advance of anticipated large emigration.
Business with the interior of the State continues unusually backward.
Gov. Wright has issued an order requiring the arrest of all persons charged with aiding and abetting, by words or deeds, the rebellion, such persons to be confined unless they subscribe to the oath of allegiance.
