Military enthusiasm.

--A member of one of the Mississippi companies informs the Vicksburg Whig that so great was the disappointment of those who could not be received into the several companies — there being nearly three thousand applicants when the requisition called for only fifteen hundred men — that heavy bonuses were in many cases offered to those more fortunate. In the ‘"Jeff. Davis Guards,"’ of Holly Springs, a wealthy planter offered a thousand dollars to a private to withdraw in his favor, but the offer was not accepted.

The Vicksburg Citizen states that the Madison county Rifles, one of the companies who have enlisted in the service of the Southern Confederacy from that Stats, have in their treasury the nice little sum of seven thousand dollars, besides six negro men, all of which had been presented to them by the citizens of that county since their enlistment in the service of their country.
