How did McClellan know what lee was gong to do at Antietam?
Pure accident. A Confederate officer had dropped a set of Lee's orders in the field, and they were discovered by Union troops. These orders revealed that Lee's divisions were widely separated, giving McClellan a chance to destroy them piecemeal. He did not move quite fast enough to achieve this. Also a Confederate spy in the Union camp was able to get word to Lee of what had happened, and he hastily concentrated his forces. But the result was a Union victory - and a very historic one.

Why was the US Civil War Battle of the Wilderness a tactical defeat for the Union?
The Union army at the Battle of the Wilderness saw 100,000 Union troops battle 60,000 Confederate troops. Unfavorable terrain helped prevent Grant's forces advance and Confederate General Longstreet prevented a breakthrough of Federal forces on the southern end of the field of battle. Additionally, it was only due to nightfall that the Union's northern flank survived. Union losses were 17,600, and Rebel losses were 11,000. The South's ability to withstand the overwhelming Union forces was a tactical success.
