McClellan's glass for the last half hour has seldom been turned away from the left. He sees clearly enough that Burnside is pressed — needs no messenger to tell him that. His face grows darker with anxious thought. Looking down into the valley where 13,000 troops are lying, he turns a half-questioning look on Fitz John Porser, who stands by his side, gravely scanning the field.
