It received some consideration by the government, but was not adopted. A resemblance appears between this scheme and a plan urged by General Sherman in a letter to his brother, the eminent statesman. The military operations for the next two months, April and May, 1862, show advances made by the Federal armies and navies, and the skill, both civil and military, with which the invasion was met. McClellan, on the first of April, made a change of base and concentrated his forces near Fortress Monroe to advance on Richmond from the peninsula with a fully equipped command consisting of over one hundred thousand men. He was confronted by the Confederate armies under General Johnston, who at length evacuated Norfolk and fell back slowly on a well-chosen line of

With due appreciation of the gravity of the struggle, he raised 12,000 more men than his State's quota, which were found of great service when hastily called into the field in Virginia when McClellan made his advance from Yorktown. After General Martin had completed this work he applied for duty in the field, and in May, 1862, was promoted brigadier-general in the provisional army, Confederate States. In August, 1862, he was given command of the district of North Carolina, with headquarters at Kinston. In the fall of 1863 he was directed to organize a brigade from the troops at his disposal and take the field. With this brigade, composed of the Seventeenth, Forty-second, Fiftieth and Sixty-sixth regiments, he went into camp near Wilmington and soon had as well-drilled and equipped a command as the Confederat

He entered the service of the Missouri State Guard, for the support of the Confederacy, in May, 1861, as a private in Company G of Colonel Hurst's regiment. He was at once made captain of his company, and served in that rank six months, the period of enlistment. He then organized a company for the Second Missouri infantry, mustered in as Company H. At the reorganization of this command in May, 1862, the regimental vote was a tie between him and Colonel Burbridge for the chief command, and Burbridge was continued as colonel, and Cockrell promoted to lieutenant-colonel.
