From Petersburg. Petersburg, August 22. --All quiet, along the lines to-day. There has been but little mortar shelling, and less picket firing. The enemy still hold their position on the Weldon railroad, and scouts report that they are continuing to fortify. Petersburg, August 23. --Since the fight on Sunday the enemy has been engaged extending his lines west of the railroad and towards the city.--The enemy now occupies the ground on which the battle of the last few days was fought, and his pickets are advanced some distance this side. The Vaughan road, one mile west, is also occupied by the enemy, who is strongly fortified there.

There have been no offensive movements on either side to-day, and everything is consequently quiet.
