What was William H. Clements' military service shown on this military grave registration?

Question

I know that William H. Clements was part of the Mississippi Rifles from a military pension record index entry. Specifically, he served 1846-1847 in Company C.

According to the Army National Guard Special Designation Listing, "Mississippi Rifles" was a special designation for 155th Infantry Regiment, also known as "First Mississippi".

I found his military grave registration. I would like help transcribing the bottom of the page:

I can read some of it:

Warren Co
11. Date Enlisted 1846         Date Discharged 1847
12. Service Army (Mex)         Rank Private
13. Company, outfit or ship Co C. 1st Miss Inf. " ------------ Southerners"

What is the missing word?

Answer 1

According to the article Mississippi and the U.S.-Mexican War, 1846-1848 by Sam Olden, posted on the website Mississippi History Now (an online publication of the Mississippi Historical Society), Company C was the Vicksburg Southrons.
