The caption here (#402) says, "Spectators at Side of the Capitol, which is Hung with Crepe and has Flag at Half-Mast - Washington, D.C., May 1865"

There is a sign in the center which I think says Welcome Brave Soldiers (not 100% certain on the wording)

The sign reads Welcome Brave Soldiers to me, also... Like Roger and Scott, this is a new image to me.
