A Confederate officer had dropped a set of Lee's orders in the field, and they were passed to McClellan, who saw that Lee's divisions were widely separated. This meant that he might be able to destroy them one by one.
Unfortunately for McClellan, there was a Confederate spy in his camp, who was able to get word to Lee, who promptly concentrated his forces at Antietam Creek.
Lee's army was defeated, but not destroyed, and Lincoln fired McClellan for not pursuing it more vigorously when it was in a weak position.
