ALARMING FIRES IN NEW JEksEY-For se- verl days past fires have been raging in the woods of New Jeisey, but on Thursday and yesterday, ow- ing to the high winds, they peculiarly destruc- tive. On Thursday evening the sky was quite rud- dy towards the F.. 5 E. and $. E, by s., ns viewed from Camden, ,the lurid glow having l,esn caused by the reelection Oi the burning forests. It Is believed that several thousand acres of woodland have been destroyed-the fires leaping from grove to grove and ignIling by millions of sparks from wood to wood, at distances of mile or more. This has been especially the in the pine districts, owing 10 the extreme dryness of the weather for more than fort night.

 On Thursday afternoon aud during the clear part of yesterday, vast and rolling volumes of smoke were dsting guislriblc, drifting into fantastic shapes with the Jury ofthe @ind, and tinged with variety of colors by tle sun. These appearancer towards ese- day night the fires were I2 or IA miles from Cam the wind they were much nearer. The most de,as. taiing co.f,gralion has occurred near Cemenlon, several miles beyond Haddonfeld-anoiher near Pend.eton-a third near Chew's Ianding-and \ fourth nearer the Delaware

 We learn from persons who have arrived in the c. " from the vicnliy of barning districts that veral barns, cottages the pine waods, houses and large quantity of fencing have iaen prey to the flames; but are happy to say that no lives have been lo.t. We aie informed, also. that on Thur sday night, early yesterday morning. an ex- tensive cohtagriion w as raging ip quite an Oppo- site direction, namely near South Amboy. The va- Tue of the wood destroy ed be immense, and the fires are to continue, until they are quenched with heavy showers of rain, or until they die away for want of iue l.-fPhilad Ing 6il inst.
