Dreadful Accident in Petersburg.

--On Thursday night last Mr. Wm. F. Johnson, of Richmond, formerly of the firm of Dudley & Johnson, was most seriously injured by falling from the fourth story window of the Bolingbrook Hotel in Petersburg. He had fallen asleep while sitting in the window and fell out while in that state. One of his legs was broken above the knee, and the bones of the knee itself were very much broken. His under jaw was also broken, and an orifice cut through between the chin and throat. He was besides very much bruised bodily. His situation yesterday was one of great suffering and very critical.
