Death of a prominent Jurist.

--Judge P. E. Bonford, of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, died the latter part of August in Western Louisiana:

Previous to the breaking out of the war he was a partner of Mr. Benjamin, now Secretary of State.--He was a member of the Convention through whose action Louisiana seceded from the late Union. He afterwards joined the army and served for two years as aide-de-camp on the staff of Lieutenant-General Dick Taylor, which position he resigned last spring to accept that of Justice of the Supreme Court.
