Murderers Received. - Wm. T. Shoemaker, George Welsh, Peter H. Mills, and Charles S. Baker, members of Co. A, 1st Maryland Cavalry—a Yankee organization — were received at the Confederate prison yesterday, to be retained for trial for murder, committed in the Valley of Virginia. Persons who judge from these parties belonging to the 1st Maryland Cavalry that they are Marylanders, do that State a wrong. The prisoners confess themselves that they were born in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
