(From the Memphis Appeal, Feb. 19.)
This gallant patriot, who is at present in the city, made a speech to our citizens on yesterday at the City Hall, in which he ably vindicated the validity of the scrip, and also the credit of the State of Missouri. He very properly maintained that they were as sound as any other similar currency in the South, and as they constituted the all of Missouri soldier, they should be received by the country generally as on a par with other State obligations. The Governor’s speech on war matters was spirited and encouraging.
