What was General Henry Wager Halleck's General Orders 107?
After the removal of General George B. McClellan as general in chief, President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton tried to run the war without a general in chief. This was not a success so Lincoln consulted with some of his military advisors, including John Pope and General Winfield Scott. Both men suggested General Henry Halleck for the job. Lincoln then summoned Halleck, operating in the Western Theater to come to Washington. Apparently Halleck was unclear about President Lincoln's intentions. He politely refused to go to Washington unless he was given full control of the Eastern Theater. Lincoln informed Halleck that the entire army, east and west was under his control as the new general in chief. Halleck was aware of the political snafus in Washington DC. And, when he arrived he used his expert knowledge of military law to clarify the Second Confiscation Act passed by Congress on July 17,1862. On August 15, 1862 he issued General Orders No. 107. This was a proper military law clarification of the Confiscation Act. In the orders to his generals he carefully explained the procedures for seizing enemy property for government use and the organization and conduct of foraging parties. Halleck defined the difference between pillaging and looting and property lawfully taken from the enemy. All property seized had to be recorded and all officers were directly responsible for illegal activities of their troops. As an aside, it would be Halleck who would review the actions of General Sherman in Georgia.
Why was Federal General Halleck's plan in 1862 not carried out?
This may refer to the Second Battle of Bull Run (August '62). Halleck wanted McClellan to join forces with John Pope; together they would then be strong enough to destroy Lee's army. Lee moved too quickly to allow the two armies to meet, and he drove John Pope off in disgrace.

How did General George B McClellan prevent the Union's chance to win at the Second Battle of Bull Run?
On August 25, 1862, General Halleck asked General McClellan to go to Alexandria Virginia and expedite the forward movement of General William Buel Franklin's Vl Corps . Halleck had already communicated to Franklin that he was to head south to reinforce Pope's army. McClellan countermanded those orders explaining to Halleck that Franklin lacked sufficient draft animals and wagons to move his artillery. He added that the absence of cavalry scouting made such a march dangerous. And, McClellan claimed that until the Vl Corps disembarked from their sea transport, sending Franklin would be a serious error.When Stonewall Jackson struck at Manassas, he cut Pope's communications. There is no way to ascertain as to whether Franklin's advance as ordered by General Halleck could have prevented that. With that said, it's clear that if Franklin had been allowed to march south he certainly would have made Jackson's raid on Manassas more complicated and more difficult.
