Edit - It is clear that the author of the question believed the Army of Tennessee won only one battle that should be considered "major."

While it is true that the Army of Tennessee is considered to have won a tactical victory at Kennesaw Mountain, I have to figure that Chickamauga, rather than Kennesaw Mountain, was the "major" battle the questioner had in mind.

In 1877, Windus shot and killed a fellow Medal of Honor recipient Adam Paine, a Black Seminole, whom Windus was attempting to arrest as a murder suspect. This is the only known instance of one Medal of Honor recipient killing another.

Question
On January 1, 1877, Claron A. Windus Medal of Honor recipient (a deputy sheriff of Brackettville Texas) and Medal of Honor recipient Adam Paine, a fugitive, met each other and Paine was shot and killed by Windus. It is the only time a Medal of Honor recipient killed another Medal of Honor recipient. Ironically there was another Medal of Honor recipient named Isaac Payne in the group with Paine, but he got on his horse a fled to Mexico and was later cleared of any wrong doing.

Bonus

Bragg, intent on retaking Chattanooga and hoping to crush the Union army, welcomed this battle. At Chickamauga, Bragg received many reinforcements—including two divisions from Gen. Robert E. Lee's army under Gen. James Longstreet. On the battle's second day those troops exploited a gap in Rosecrans's lines, driving a large portion of his army from the field. At Chickamauga the Army of Tennessee won its only major victory of the war. Nonetheless, determined resistance by Union troops under Gen. George Thomas allowed the rest of the northern army to safely retreat back to Chattanooga.
