Dangerously Wounded.- -Oliver F. Taylor, a dentist, is now in the jail of New Kent county, charged with stabbing with intent to kill, Thomas Q. Gilliam.

Gave G. a blow in the face, and drawing a bowie knife, gave him three stabs in the left side, one of which penetrated the lung. Mr. Gilliam was thought to be in a critical condition yesterday, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. The prisoner will undergo an examination on 22nd the Inst.
