Who was the general after mcclellan?
McClellan was appointed twice and replaced once as Commander of the Army of the Potomac. After he was pushed off the York/James peninsula(The Seven Days' Battles) by Lee, he was relieved of that command. Then after John Pope was repulsed at Second Manassas McClellan was reappointed by Lincoln. He led the A.o.P. through the Sharpsburg/Antietam Campaign,but when he failed to vigorously pursue Lee after the battle(allowing Lee's Army to get back into Virginia) Lincoln was through with him and relieved him permanently. The two men never had liked each other and in the 1864 election McClellan ran against Lincoln for President. After his first dismissal I don't think anyone was appointed because the Second Manassas Campaign(John Pope) was almost immediately after that but under separate command. After McClellan's second dismissal Ambrose Burnside was appointed but he only lasted for one battle(Fredericksburg) then he was replaced by Joseph Hooker.

Why didn't federal general Halleck attack lee?
Halleck himself was never in a position to attack Lee. When he was appointed General-in-Chief in July 1862, he summoned McClellan back to Washington and ordered him to attack Lee in the Shenandoah. Lee defeated part of the Union army before McClellan was able to reach the spot. Next came the unexpected Union win at Antietam, but Halleck and the whole of Lincoln's cabinet criticised McClellan for failing to pursue and destroy Lee's army, and McClellan was replaced. Halleck then supervised the two further failed attacks on Lee (Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville), and the successful one at Gettysburg. The next campaign involving Lee was not till May 1864, by which time Halleck had been replaced.
