The London Times favors the public with its views on the employment of African soldiers in the Confederate service. It says that in Europe there would be no hesitation on that subject at all.--It considers Grant's tactics simply this — give away two, three, ten Federal soldiers, if necessary, for one Confederate. The Federal supply is unlimited, the Confederate losses cannot be replenished, and it only requires time and patience to work out the problem. Under these circumstances, the Times thinks the Confederacy cannot dispense with the policy indicated. The New York Times has something to say on the same subject. It has heretofore ridiculed the idea of the slave being made to fight with, and for, his master. It now cannot conceal its delight that we have permitted, as it alleges, the time to pass within which this military element could be brought into the army and organized, disciplined and instructed in time for the spring campaign.
