What advantage over the south did the north have when it launched and offensive into Maryland in September 1862?
It was the South that had the advantages - a superior General and an army in high morale - until a Confederate officer accidentally dropped a set of Lee's orders in the field, where they were found and shown to McClellan, who was then able to exploit the wide gaps in the Confederate lines. Only the presence of a Confederate spy in his camp (able to alert Lee) prevented him from destroying the Army of Northern Virginia.

What is the south called?
Its almost always called the Confederate Army, or the Rebel Army. That's a title that covers all the men who served the Confederacy as soldiers. The Rebels had two main field armies, and several smaller ones. In the east, in Virginia, the main army was the Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Robert E. Lee. Its usual opponent was the Union Army of the Potomac. West of the Appalachian Mountains was the other main Rebel Army, the Army of Tennessee. To be technical, when the Confederates set up their government, they thought they were making a permanent country. They did things pretty much as had been done in the US. There were a few thousand men at most, quite a few of the high-ranking officers, who were really in the Army of the Confederate States of America. This was intended to be the "regular army" of the Confederacy and these men were professional, career soldiers. All the rest of the hundreds of thousands of men who served the Rebel cause were actually in the "Provisional Army of the Confederate States", usually abbreviated PACS. This recognized that they were really wartime volunteers, not career soldiers, and when the war was over they would go back to doing whatever they had done before the war.
