Answer:
General McClellan’s most grievous error was hugely overestimating Confederate numbers. This delusion dominated his military character. In August 1861, taking command of the Army of the Potomac, he began entirely on his own to over-count the enemy’s forces. Later he was abetted by Allan Pinkerton, his inept intelligence chief, but even Pinkerton could not keep pace with McClellan’s imagination. On the eve of Antietam, McClellan would tell Washington he faced a gigantic Rebel army “amounting to not less than 120,000 men,” outnumbering his own army “by at least twenty-five per cent.”

The real midnight rider wasn't Paul Revere it was actually 25-year-old
mail carrier named Israel Bissel. He rode some 400 miles in 5 days. He
alerted local militias that a British Force was marching on Lexington
& Concord.
Another rider was a 16-year-old girl named Sibyl
Ludington, who rode more than 40 miles in 6 hours and called out any
army of patriots to halt a British advance at Danbury, Connecticut. Paul
Revere's mission was to warn rebel leader Samuel Adams and John Hancock
that British soldiers were on the way to arrest them. Paul Revere never
saw the signal and he wasn;t the only midnight rider.
