By distracting Pope to his front, while sending part of his army under Stonewall on a long, circuitous march to capture the Union supply depot.

When Pope heard of this, he turned to face Stonewall, but lost track of both parts of Lee's army. Eventually Lee and Stomewall re-united and sent Pope into a headlong retreat.

What was one positive factor for the Union at the US Civil War Battle of the Second Bull Run?

At the US Civil War Battle of the Second Bull Run, one positive result, even in defeat was the fact that the Union's loss could not be attributed to fielding an inexperienced army as was the case in the First Battle of Bull Run. Union General Pope's Army of the Potomac was experienced. Pope provided for an effective rear guard, and with fresh forces lending its support and the army was successful in evading the Confederate pursuit. At least the Army of the Potomac was well prepared if a defeat was seen. And, yes it was a defeat, but not as embarrassing as the First Bull Run.
