McClellan was not noted for trying to do anything quickly. In fact, his incredible slowness caused some of Lincoln's cabinet to question his loyalty.
The only time he recognised an opportunity to make a quick dash to victory was at Antietam in September '62, when a set of Lee's orders fell into his hands, and he could have destroyed the enemy's widely-separated divisions, one by one. But even then, he delayed his advance for a crucial few hours, which gave Lee enough time to re-group. The battle was a Northern victory (with important political consequences), but it was not the full knock-out blow that it should have been.
By this time, nobody was very confident about a quick end to the war, and Grant's appointment as General-in-Chief seemed to promise the opposite, ultimate Union victory, at a cost of much slow attrition.
'A disastrously unsuccessful attempt to end the war quickly' strongly suggests the Battle of the Crater, during the long siege of Petersburg, though McClellan was no longer in uniform by this time.
